According to the BBC, the Official Google Blog, and a handful of upset tipsters, Gmail went offline for roughly two and a half hours early this morning—with some users reporting up to four hours of downtime. I'm not sure if the alternate options for accessing Gmail when it's down worked for anyone, but if you're rocking the new Offline Gmail, you probably felt pretty smart this morning (if you noticed anything at all, that is). Did you suffer the brunt of a down Gmail? Feeling angry at the big G? Vent and commiserate in the comments. [Official Google Blog, BBC]
